plan till the print date, namely for all the
standard equipment and optional
equipment in series Karry model, some
equipment may be supplied in the future
or may be only available in certain

the vehicle and the vehicle
equipment, and how do you avoid the
person injury? In this manual, the answer
for such question is included in the
explanation for the alarm symbols with
triangle. Please read carefully and abide

New Vehicle Inspection
Before deliver the vehicle to you, the
dealer of Chery Company has already
performed the vehicle inspection in
accordance with the regulations of Chery
Automobile Co., Ltd. The dealer of Chery
Company should fill in the vehicle
delivery date in the "Vehicle Delivery
Inspection Certificate” column of this
Summary

manual and seal with the stamp of dealing
agency.
The dealer should verify the entire vehicle
performance and introduce the operation
knowledge of the vehicle against the
“Chery Vehicle Sale & Delivery Card”
that to be dually signed by the salesman
and the user.
Run in of New Vehicle
Due to the manufacture and assembling
deviations, the frication resistances
between the moving components of the
new vehicle at the initial stage of
operation will be much greater than the
ones of normal condition. The run in
effects of the vehicle at the initial stage of
operation will exert great influence on the
use lifetime, working reliability and
economy of the vehicle, therefore, the use
of new vehicle must abide by the run in
regulations strictly.
Run in Regulation within 1,000 km
y Full speed driving is absolutely
prohibited.
y Generally, do not drive the vehicle at
the speed above 100 km/h.
y Avoid driving at the top speed at
whichever gear.
Run in Regulation from 1,000 km
to 1,500 km
y Increase to the top speed gradually or
drive at the allowable max engine
speed.
Notice during Run in Period
For the driving of vehicles with engine
tachometer, the allowed short period top
engine speed is 6,000 rpm. During the
manual gearshift, make sure to shift to the
next high gear when the engine tachometer
indicator reached red indication area at the
latest.
Avoid the running of engine at
unnecessary high speed. The
earliest shift to high gear will
help save the fuel, reduce the
working noise as well as diminish the
environmental pollution.
The engine speed should not be excessive
low during driving. Shift to proper gear at
reasonable time.
When at cold condition, do not run the
engine at top speed no matter at neutral
gear or any other drive gear.
The new tires don’t have best adhesion at
the beginning of use; therefore, the tires
also need run in. The vehicle speed should
be relative low during first 100 km driving
and the driving should be extremely
careful.
The new brake friction lining also needs
run in, since the brake doesn't have ideal
friction force during first 200 km driving.
During this period the brake effects are a
little poor, therefore the pressure on brake
pedal may be reasonably increased. Such
condition also applies to the each time
when replaced with new friction lining.
When the new vehicle traveled for 800km,
the wheel nuts must be re-tightened to the
specified torque. Please refer to the
chapter “Specification and Parameters” of
this manual for correct torque values. Also,
if the wheel has been replaced or the
wheel nuts have been loosened, then the
wheel nuts should be re-tightened in
accordance with the specified torque after
traveled for 800km.
“One-To-One” Service
In order to provide you with better service
and vehicle use, the dealer of Chery
Company will appoint one service counsel
to serve you at the purchase of your

Start
Preparation before Start
The engine start is controlled by the
engine electrical control system.
Do not step on the accelerator before start
and during start when starting the
electrical injection engine. The accelerator
should be used only when having difficult
start. Please refer to the section “Engine
Start” for the details of vehicle start.
The long period high speed
idling running of the engine
will result in the overheating
of the engine and the exhaust system,
which may result in the danger of fire
or other damages. Therefore, do not
park, idling run or driving on the
ground covered with dry grass and
other dry coverings. The exhaust
system will increase the temperature
of the engine compartment and the
exhaust pipe that may cause fire.
Do not start the vehicle in
the closed garage or other
closed locations since the
vehicle exhaust gas is poisonous.
Make sure to open the garage gate
before the engine start. Refer to the
section “Caution of Vehicle Exhaust
Fume” for details.
Safety Notice
The idle speed of the engine is controlled
by the electrical control system. The idle
speed at engine start is quite high to help
increase the engine temperature. The idle
speed should reduce automatically when
the engine temperature is increased. Please
deliver your vehicle to the Chery
authorized service station for overhaul if
the idle speed can’t reduce automatically.
Do not run the engine at the speed higher
than specified idle speed for more than 10
min.
Before Vehicle Start
1. Make sure all passengers are
fastened with safety belt. Please
refer to the chapter "Seat and Safety
Protection” for the details of safety
belt and its correct operation
method.
2. Make sure the front head lamp and
other electrical fittings are turned
off.
3. Make sure to lift up the handbrake.
4. Make sure that the gear selector
lever is at neutral gear or parking
gear.
5. Switch the ignition switch to (2), but
not to (3).
If the rotation of the key needs great effort,
it may rotate the steering around, till the
key can rotate freely. The occurrence of
such condition may have following
causes:
y Deflection of front wheel.
y The front wheel touched with the
road curb.
y The steering wheel is rotated during
get-on and get-off (self-lock of the
steering wheel).
6. At the same time when the ignition
key is turned on, make sure that the
dashboard alarm lamp lights shortly.
If not, then it needs to deliver your
vehicle to the Chery authorized
service station for overhaul.
If the driver safety belt is fastened
before turning on the ignition key, then
the safety belt alarm lamp won’t light.
Driving
19
Engine Start
1. Rotate the ignition switch to the 3
position but not step down the
accelerator, release the key after the
engine start and the key will return
to the 2 position.
2. If the temperature is higher than -12
℃, then the engine should not be
started within 5s during the first start.
Instead, it should rotate the key to
the OFF position and wait for 10s
before retry.
3. If the temperature is lower than -12
℃, then the engine should not be
started within 15s during the first
start. Instead, it should rotate the key
to the OFF position and wait for 10s
before retry. If the two consecutive
starts all fail, then step down the
accelerator to the end and hold
before rotating the key to the 3
position. After the engine start,
release the key and release the
accelerator pedal slowly following
the increasing of the engine speed.
4. After the engine start, run at idle
speed for several seconds, step down
the clutch, shift to the drive gear,
release the handbrake and prepare
the driving.
5. The normal environment
temperature condition of the engine
start is -25 ~40 (it may present ℃℃
other abnormal conditions when the
environment temperate is out of such
scope).
Caution of Vehicle
Exhaust Fume
In despite of without colour or smell, the
vehicle exhaust fume contains the carbon
monoxide, of which the danger must be
cautioned. The certain contents in the
engine exhaust gas and the certain
chemicals contained or emitted by certain
vehicle components may result in the
cancer, the defect of the new born or other
damage of the genital system.
If you smell the fume
peculiar smell within the
vehicle, please deliver
your vehicle to the Chery
authorized service station for
overhaul immediately. Do not
continue to drive. The exhaust fume
is one poisonous substance that
may endanger the life.
The exhaust system and the vehicle
ventilation system should be checked
under following conditions:
y When the vehicle is lifted for
overhaul.
y When the sound of exhaust system is
changed.
y When the vehicle is damaged due to
the collision.
Ventilation Notice
When the vehicle is parked in the open
field for long period idle or when the
persons rest in the vehicle, the window
should be opened for at lease 2.5cm. Or
open the A/C system ventilation function
to let the fresh air into the vehicle.
Vent
Driving
20
Clean the snow, leaf fall
or other foreign articles
blocked in the air inlet so
as to improve the vehicle ventilation
capability.
Engine Control System
Self-adaptive Function
If the battery cable is once removed from
the battery before refit, then the vehicle
may present some abnormal evidences
during the initial period of the driving.
This is the engine control system is
re-learning to adapt to the engine, which
belongs to normal condition.
Vehicle Speed Limit
According to Karry vehicle working
conditions, we offer a max. vehicle speed
limit and we adding the following function
for EFI：
When the vehicle speed reaches 135km/h,
the fuel supply is cut off automatic to limit
the speed. When the vehicle speed
decreases to 120km/h,the engine resumes
fuel supply.
It’s recommended that you
reduce the accelerator
actively when the speed is
close to 135km/h lest the vehicle fuel
supply is cut off and resumed again and
again, causing higher exhaust
temperature.
Engine stall
Release the accelerator pedal. Wait the
engine to lower to idle speed and then turn
off the ignition switch.
Please do not step down
the accelerator pedal
before turning off the
engine.
After long period high speed driving, do
not turn off the engine immediately after
parking. Run the engine at the speed
higher than idle speed for two more
minutes so as to lower the engine
temperature gradually.
Turn off the ignition switch, the
temperature will still be
very high after the turn-off
of the engine and the
radiator electrical cooling fan will
still keep running. Even the cooling
fan stops running, it may run
suddenly again due to excessive high
temperature. Therefore, cautions
should be taken when working near
the engine so as to avoid the
scalding.
Driving
21
Brake
Dual-Circuit Brake System
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-corner
dual-circuit brake system. The remaining
circuit will still keep effective operation
even if one circuit has fault.
In case of the failure of
one brake circuit, it will
needs more force to step
down the brake pedal and the stop
distance will be lengthened. In case
of the occurrence of such condition,
please deliver your vehicle to the
Chery authorized service station for
overhaul before you continue your
journey.
Brake Liquid
If the brake system alarm lamp doesn’t
turn off upon the release of the handbrake,
it indicates that the brake system has
trouble or the brake liquid level is too low.
The brake liquid level should be checked
periodically in accordance with the
requirements.
Please refill with brake
liquid immediately to
maintain the liquid level at
MAX marking and deliver your
vehicle to the Chery authorized
service station for the checking of
the brake system.
Operation Instruction of
Brake System
It’s quite normal if the brake system issues
noise occasionally. The long period
grinding or screaming noise between the
metal and the metal may indicate that the
brake disc was severely worn out and
should be replaced. At that time, please
deliver your vehicle to the Chery
authorized service station for overhaul.
If there is consecutive shake or shock
transmitted to the steering wheel during
braking, please deliver your vehicle to
Chery authorized service station for
overhaul immediately.
The new brake lining can achieve best
brake effects only after run in. The brake
effects may be slightly lowered within the
initial 200 km. Under such condition, the
brake effects can be compensated by
enhancing the proper force on the pedal.
This essential point also applies to the new
brake lining after replacement.
The worn-out status of the brake lining
depends on the working condition and
driving method to large extent. For the
vehicles mainly for city transportation, the
working condition of the brake lining is
relatively poor due to the frequent start
and stop. Therefore, make sure to deliver
your vehicle to the Chery authorized
service station for the checking of brake
lining thickness or the replacement of
brake lining in accordance with the
maintenance mileage specified in the
Maintenance.
For downward slope driving, it should
shift to low gear at proper time so as to
sufficiently take advantage of the brake
effects of the engine and reduce the load
of brake system. At that moment, the
brake pedal should be stepped down all
the time even the braking is required.
The moisture brake disc will reduce the
Driving
22
All pedals should be
stepped down to the
end and should fully
brake efficiency. After paddling, heavy
rain or car wash, it should step down the
brake pedal slightly to generate friction
heat between the brake disc and the brake
lining so as to evaporate the water and
resume brake effects.
If the vehicle is equipped with front
spoiler, it should ensure the
free airflow to the front
brake; otherwise the brake
system may overheats due to poor heat
radiation to reduce the brake effects.
Brake Booster
If the brake booster can’t function because
the vehicle is trailed or it’s due to its own
fault, then it needs to enhance the stepping
force to compensate the boosting effects of
the booster.
Therefore, it’s preferable not to place the
foot cushion or other covering on the floor
around the pedal. If really needed, then
make sure that the placement of foot
cushion won’t obstruct the pedal
movement without any sliding.
The brake booster is subject to the
control of engine vacuum booster. This
device will act only when the
engine is running. Therefore,
do not turn off the engine for
sliding when driving on downward
slopes.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
( )
The anti-lock brake system can avoid the
lock of the wheels that can keep the
steering performance of the vehicle even
under emergent braking so as to escape the
obstacles.
Reaction of ABS
The anti-lock brake system will not effect
under normal brake period and will effect
only when the wheels are almost locked.
During braking, the pulse movement of
the brake pedal together with the noise
indicates that the ABS is under working.
Such pulse movement and noise are
normal. At such moment, do not release
the pedal.
Braking Taki ng Advantage of ABS
The consecutive stepping down of the
brake pedal with full force under emergent
condition will actuate the antilock brake
system immediately to keep the control of
steering. If with enough space, you still
can escape the obstacles.
It’s recommended that you should get
familiar with this brake technology firstly;
however, any unnecessary adventures
should be avoided.
Though ABS can ensure
the best brake effects,, the
stop distance will have
great difference depending on the
road conditions. The ABS can’t
always make sure to reduce the
braking distance, such as on sand or
snow ground, the braking distance
of the vehicle with ABS may be
much longer than the one of the
vehicle without ABS. Also, taking
Driving
23
advantage of ABS can’t eliminate
the dangers arising from the
excessive short distance with
foregoing vehicle, paddling,
excessive fast turn or poor road as
well as avoid the accidents arising
from the careless and incorrect
driving. Please drive carefully and
decelerate the driving at turns.
ABS Self-Examination
The ABS will conduct the
self-examination after the vehicle start.
The mechanical noise can be heard during
this period, which is quite normal.
The lighting of ABS alarm
lamp during driving
indicates the fault in the
ABS system, at that moment the
mechanical system can function the
normal brake effects, which should
be noticed during driving. Please
contact with Chery authorized
service station timely to repair the
ABS system.

Handbrake
Pull up the handbrake handle after parking
so as to avoid the humping due to
temporary carelessness.
The parking brake lamp will light when
applied with handbrake under the
condition that the ignition switch is turned
on.
Pull up the handbrake lever when using
handbrake.
When releasing the handbrake, pull up the
handbrake lever slightly, push down the
release button at the end of the handle and
push downward.
The handbrake is applied on the rear
wheels. It can step down the brake pedal at
the same time the handbrake is pulled up
so that it can pull up the handbrake much
easier.
Make sure to pull up the
handbrake handle before
leaving the vehicle.
Important principle of
taking advantage o
f
ABS for braking
1． Step down brake

edal and hold wit
h
full efforts.
2. Rotate the steering
wheel to round the
obstacle. You can
maintain the turn control
capability no mater how
violent the braking is.

Use/Operation Method and Notices:
y During gearshift, fully step down the
clutch pedal and move shift lever to
the chosen position, and shift it to
the position by little force. If it
doesn’t shift successfully, shift to the
position by stepping down the clutch
pedal again. Release the driver from
the engine torque and then operate
the gearshift lever for gearshift
rapidly.
y The low speed gear should be used
for downward slopes and turns. The
slide with disengaged clutch is not
allowed.
y When shifting the transmission from
low gear to high gear, do not
conduct gear skip operation;
otherwise the service life of the
synchronizer will be affected.
y The forced gearshift by means of
synchronizer to start the engine
under neutral gear and engine stall
status is strictly prohibited;
otherwise the service life of the
synchronizer will be affected.
y The flap method (namely the
operation method of one pulling and
one releasing) is strictly prohibited
during gearshift. Please always hold
the transmission lever with hand so
as to greatly reduce the slide and
friction time and the worn-out of the
synchronizer lock ring.
y After shifting, do not leave your
hand on the gear selector lever
during driving; otherwise it will
result in the early worn-out of the
gearshift fork.
y In case of the detection of any
abnormal evidences such as
abnormal noise of the transmission
or the obvious heavier operation
during use, please stop the vehicle
for inspection immediately and
continue the driving once the trouble
is resolved.
y During normal driving, don’t put
feet on the clutch pedal to avoid
unnecessary clutch wear.
S teering
In order to avoid the damage of power
steering system, please read the following
items carefully:
y The time when rotating the steering
wheel to the end (to left dead point
and right dead point) should not
exceed 10 s during engine running.
y When the power steering liquid in
the power steering liquid reservoir is
lower than MIN mark, please refill
Shifting gear in reverse
direction is prohibited while
driving, or else the
transmission will be damage. Chery
Automobile Co., Ltd. will not be
liable for any damages arising from
improper operation.
Driving
25
with power steering liquid
immediately. Do not drive the vehicle
before refill.
In case of trouble of power steering
system or the turn-off of the engine, the
vehicle will lose the steering boosting. You
still can rotate the steering wheel,
provided with great strength.
In case of vehicle deflection or tremble
during the driving, please check the
following items:
y Whether the tire pressure is
insufficient.
y Whether the tire is worn evenly.
y Whether the suspension components
is loosened or worn out.
y Whether the steering components is
loosened or worn out.
y Whether the wheel alignment is
correct.
Paddling
If it’s must to paddle during journey, make
sure to drive slowly and carefully,
especially when having no knowledge of
the water conditions. Do not drive forward
further if the water can submerge the
wheel hub.
During paddling, the traction force and the
brake performance of the vehicle will be
lowered and the vehicle will have the
danger of stall.
In case of the water ingress into the intake
pipe of the engine, it will cause the serious
damage of the engine. The deeper
paddling will result in the water ingress
into the transmission through the
transmission air vent, which will result in
the damage of the transmission.
After paddling, make sure to drive slowly
and step down the brake pedal slightly for
several times to remove the water from the
brake. The water on the brake will lower
the brake performance.
Three-Way Catalytic
Converter
The catalytic converter will help reduce
the pollution of exhaust gas.
Make sure to use unleaded
fuel. The leaded fuel will
result in the permanent
damage of the catalytic converter
and the oxygen sensor. Chery
Automobile Co., Ltd. will not be
liable for any damages arising from
the use of leaded fuel. Such damages
are excluded from the warranty
scope. If you refill with leaded fuel
accidentally, please contact with the
nearest Chery authorized service
station.
The vehicles with gasoline engine are
equipped with narrow refill opening that
only accommodates the unleaded gasoline
pump refuelling gun nozzle.
During the running of the
gasoline engine, it’s
absolutely not allowable to
pull out the high voltage line of the
ignition coil. Check if the engine
functions normally by means of
cylinder stall method or observe the
jump spark condition of the spark
plug; otherwise the three-way
catalytic converter will be damaged.
Driving
26
Notice:
The three-way catalytic converter will be
getting very hot if the engine is under
continuous running, therefore, notice to
wear the protective glove during repair so
as to avoid the scalding.
Drive the Vehicle Equipped
with a Catalytic Converter
In case of the evidence of
poor engine ignition or the
lowered performance
during driving, please drive at low
speed to the nearest Chery
authorized service station. Do not
drive at large accelerator.
Please avoid the condition that will result
in the ingress of the un-combusted or
partial un-combusted fuels into the
catalytic converter, especially when the
engine is at high temperature.
The following conditions should
be avoided:
y Run out of fuel.
y Unnecessary long period start of the
engine.
y Run the engine under the condition
that one spark plug cable terminal is
removed.
y Start the vehicle with the engine still
at working temperature by means of
pulling or hauling.
y Turn off the ignition switch during
driving.
Parking
Do not park, idle or drive the vehicle on
the dry leaves or grass. Even the engine is
turned off, the exhaust within short period
will continue the radiation of equivalent
heat, and therefore, it still has potential
fire danger.
Make sure to turn off the ignition switch
before leaving the vehicle. Do not run the
engine when no one is in the vehicle. The
negligence of this point may result in the
accident movement of the vehicle, which
will result in the body injury or property
damage.
Chassis Protection
Your vehicle is equipped with heat
insulation plate. Do not apply the paint on
the body of heat insulation plate, exhaust
pipe or catalytic converter or the
surrounding areas. Do not disassemble the
heat insulation plate.
Fuel Consumption
The fuel consumption is
influenced by the following
factors:
Selection of Vehicle Speed or Gear
The above figure illustrates
how the fuel consumption is
influenced by the selection of
vehicle speed and gear. Maintaining at
low gear to improve the acceleration
performance will result in the obvious
higher fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption
Vehicle speed
Driving
27
It’s recommended to turn off
the engine during traffic jam
or long period waiting such as
red light
Stroke Distance/Engine
Temperature
The frequent cold vehicle start and the
short distance journeys will result in the
obvious increasing of the fuel
consumption.
Traffic and Road Condition
The crowded traffic, upward slopes, multi
curved routines and rough roads will cause
detrimental influence on the fuel
consumption.
Good Driving Habits
The prediction of danger and keeping safe
driving distance with foregoing vehicle
will not only reduce the fuel consumption
but also reduce the wearing and noise of
the brake.
The 3min engine idle is equivalent to
driving for 1km.
Vehicle Load Status
The increasing of vehicle load will result
in the higher fuel consumption.
Vehicle Technical S tatus
The low tire pressure or improper engine
and vehicle maintenance also will result in
higher fuel consumption.
Essentials for Fuel- Saving
Driving and Environmental
Protection:
y Fuel-saving driving, and use
supplementary electrical loads only
when needed.
y Start without the heating of the
vehicle.
y Use the accelerator smoothly.
y Shift to next higher gear as soon as
possible so as to achieve lower
engine speed.
y Prediction of traffic condition.
y Turn off A/C and rear windscreen
heating immediately whenever
unnecessary.
y Check/adjust the tire pressure
periodically.
y Conduct vehicle maintenance
periodically, preferable conducted by
Chery authorized service station.
Radiator Fan
The radiator fan is an electrical fan with
the working condition controlled by the
engine ECU. This switch will
automatically turn on the fan circuit when
the coolant or the engine compartment
reached certain temperature.
After stopping the vehicle
and the engine, the radiator
fan will continue running
for certain period since the engine is
still under hot condition and will
stop running when the engine is
cooled to certain temperature. Even
though, the fan may still start
suddenly in case of the sudden
temperature increasing of the engine
compartment due to the influence of
the ambient environmental
temperature (sunshine exposure or
high temperature region). Therefore,
cautions should be taken when
operating in the engine
compartment so as to avoid the
accident.
Instruction:
If the fan isn’t running when the coolant
temperature reached the fan start
temperature, then check the fan fuse for
burn-out. Replace the fuse if necessary.
Driving
28
The fan speed is independent of the engine
speed and the gearshift to low gear will
not promote the cooling effects of the fan.
Therefore, it’s unnecessary to shift to low
gear provided that the engine runs
smoothly and the vehicle speed has no
obvious reduction on upward slopes.
